Re:Why does everyone hate spam so much (Score 1)

Who's to say they're not operating at a loss and covering the expenses with ads displayed in the margins of the e-mail webapp? Also, no, this isn't the only reason people get so worked up about spam (though 2/3 waste of resources is pretty bad no matter how you cut it). Take a look at the other thread comment here. "Trespass to Chattels" is what comes up here. The spammers are abusing a resource provided by a particular entity (i.e. the ISP) for a purpose it was not intended for.
